Vista Ultimate 64b probs on reboots

[Defjr]

First off thanks for any help in advance. I just built a brand new computer,
it consists of the following: Q6600 quad core, EVGA 780i mobo, 8 gigs
Corsair XMS2-6400 800MHz mem at 5.5.5.18 (of which only 2 gig during
install), 2 150gig Raptors in RAID 0, and a Maxtor 300gig for additional
storage. I am going to be putting in a 9800GX2 GPU in aprox 2 weeks(waiting
for availability at my fav shop). For now I have an ATI X800 GTO GPU in it.
Now all of these items are compatible with Vista(as far as I have found).
After 4 installs that would not complete, I finally get to Vista desktop, the
automatic update does its thing, reboots, and reboots...etc. I found a hard
start from off it boots?!? So I turn off and put in 1 more stick of RAM(now
at 4 gigs). Same prob, reboot snags over and over, but a hard start is good.
I have a TON of components to install and hard start is not going to cut
it....Any options, suggestions?

Wow, this is frustrating. Now after a second Windows update it gives the
critical system file missing and wont boot at all. it says
\windows\system31\drivers\nvstore64.sys is missing or corrupted. I just cant
contemplate loading an OS being this difficult. I must have built 20+ XP pcs
with no probs. I am on atleast my 6th attempt at getting this pc finished(the
water cooling was a pain, but is all perfect) This should be a bad azz
pc.....if it ever loads and remains bootable and stable.

Defjr,

I am building the same setup (using XFX 780i mobo). While trying to install
home premium 64bit I am getting the same problem. But I am always dying
(core) after the first reboot and getting to the configuration just after it
detects the mouse and keyboard. If anyone knows what is causing the problem
please post. Sad not been able to get this work.

Since that is an nVidia driver, you probably should uninstall the nVidia
driver (control panel/uninstall a program) then reboot into safe mode and
install the latest driver from the nVidia site.
